Has anyone received a block that stinks so bad you have to set it outside.
Does it go away with time.
In the meantime, I'm leaving it outside in the garage ... afraid to send it to V
What causes it (not dried enough) ??
Any suggestions ??
Thanks for any info

i know rob of reosmods won't work with some timbers for this reason, some are unsafe to inhale particles too

what material is it? i'm sure someone will know

It's a block of acrylic stabilize wood ...maple burl I believe.
I found it on e-bay, and V took a look at it.
He ok'd it, as far as size, flaws, etc ... but it stinks so bad I had to put it out in the garage.
It must be what they used to stabilize the block, and maybe it hasn't had enough time to dry.
I wrote the seller this morning, but haven't heard back yet.
(I'm not sending it to V until the odor goes away) :confused:

I tried sourcing one my first time round but they didn't work out. Glad i went with Vaughan's rosewood. It makes me feel important vaping in public with the fanfare from vapers.

Looked long this time. Still not 100% sure my hybrid blocks will be workable.

This wood stuff is so complex

Thanks Doffy .. I just got this answer back from the seller, so I have some hope for it:p

"Hello! Unit is freshly prepared. maybe I'm not warmed it further. the smell will go away, but to quickly remove it, you can warm up at about 60 C for 3-4 hours. I apologize for the inconvenience - a large volume of orders, and there may be minor errors. happy to answer your questions."

Any one have an idea how far down the list he is.
I see where #5 says "working on them" .. but I don't know if that's from V, or the person is still
looking for a block :blush:
Looks like I'm waaaay down the list, so I guess it doesn't matter.
I'm keeping my eye on it, as I have a block I need to send to him, but I'm letting it air out.
It was sent to me too soon after the stabilizing process, and really stunk.
It's curing and the smell is going away, but I didn't want to send it to him while it still stinks :cry:
Have to keep telling myself "Patience is a Virtue" :p
